7:03 am
we begin with the baseball bombshell. "60 minutes" has uncovered important evidence from the doping investigation of new york yankees star alex rodriguez. >> two sources with direct knowledge of the case say that in february at a critical moment members of rodriguez's inner circle leaked danieling information about a teammate and ryan braun. >> reporter: rodriguez is appealing his 211-game suspension for using performance enhancing drugs. this latest revelation will make winning that appeal much more difficult. >> at the wall, see ya, a home run. >> reporter: "60 minutes" learned in february members of yankees slugger alex rodriguez's inner circle leaked handwritten documents implicating two other players in connection with the doping investigation. in late january, the "miami new times" published an article highlighting rodriguez's extensive use of performance enhancing drugs and charged
7:04 am
other unnamed players with also using peds. sources say associates obtained those same documents and gave them to yahoo! sports, this time naming names. yahoo! then published a story that tied milwaukee brewers super star ryan braun and rodriguez's teammate to the owner of the clinic at the center of the scandal. in a statement to "60 minutes," rodriguez's lawyer said the allegations are untrue, another attempt to harm alex. this time by driving a wedge between alex and other players in the game. weeks ago, braun accepted a 65-game suspension. other players agreed to 50-game bans. >> a-rod swings, misses. >> reporter: rodriguez received by far the harshest punishment. he has vowed to fight that and is currently playing through his appeal. >> the last seven months has been a nightmare. it's been -- you know, probably
7:05 am
the worst time of my life for sure. >> reporter: but things could get worse. if baseball proves members of rodriguez's camp in february prematurely released the name of a player suspected using peds, that would be a direct violation of the collective bargaining agreement and would strike a major league blow to his appeal. rodriguez flatly denies he had any knowledge of anyone in his inner circle back in february leaking these documents. his case is scheduled to be heard by an arbitrator in the next few weeks. norah, jeff. >> don dahler, thank you. new deaths are reported in egypt this morning. tens of thousands are back on the streets, defying the country's state of emergency. the muslim brotherhood calls this a day of rage. charlie d'agata is in cairo. charlie, good morning. >> reporter: friday prayers are over and demonstrators are already under way here in cairo, alexandria and elsewhere. we've already heard live gunfire just a few blocks away from here.
7:06 am
now, the muslim brotherhood say they're planning 28 separate marches and they'll all converge in ramses square about a mile from taherer square but they have to get through the government forces first. forcing them, the government forces who have cleared out the camps. in a clear warning, authorities took to state television to announce that police have been authorized to turn their guns on anyone who attacks security forces or government biuildings. they're hoping to prevent retaliation attacks like yesterday when protesters bombed government offices in the outskirts of cairo. deadly scenes on wednesday, not far from the smalling destruction of the biggest camp,
7:07 am
the imam mask has become a morgue. we saw rows of bodies, shrouded and covered in bags of ice in an attempt to delay decompetition. ahmed bajir came to egypt from his home in tampa, florida, to attend a family wedding this week. his brother, amir, was there too. >> he got a chance to see the whole family and said good-bye to all of us. >> we didn't know it was going to be the last time. >> reporter: the next time he saw amir's face was here at the mosque. >> it was too emotional. he was too young to die. >> reporter: egyptians are bracing for more bloodshed as protesters clash against a military that's shown it will fight back. for "cbs this morning,," i'm charlie d'agata in cairo.
7:08 am
>> in response to the violence, president obama dance ecanceled month's joint military exercise. >> the united states strongly condemns the steps taken by egypt's interim government and security forces. we deplore violence against civilians. we support universal rights essential to human dignity. including the right to peaceful protest. we oppose the pursuit of martial law which denies those rights to citizens under the principle that security trumps individual freedom or that might makes right. >> our clarissa ward is with us. she just returned from egypt where she spent nearly two months covering the political crisis. extraordinary to see the president yesterday make those comments. today is a day of rage in egypt. what's your big concern? >> well, obviously, the big concern is how can you pull back from the brink now? egypt was always a scene of
7:09 am
security. egyptians were really bonded and united together by the spirit of togetherness. and now we're seeing that threatened. the very social fabric of this country is being torn apart. of course the concern is an insurgency will now possibly ensue. >> that is the question. we've seen what happened in syria. you've spent plenty of time in syria. when we see these pictures, what prevents egypt from becoming the next syria? >> i don't think we're there yet. this isn't a civil war situation per se yet. but we are looking at a return, egypt returning to becoming a police state. you're seeing the government and the military cracking down on the muslim brotherhood. the muslim brotherhood going deep underground. of course you're going to see young men who are angry, who feel that they cannot effect change at the ballot box and the only way to do this is through violence. of course everybody's very worried we're going to see a real swell in the ranks of these extremist groups. >> what's the view the u.s.? i mean, this has been our
7:10 am
closeclos closest ally in the region. really, the president canceling these military exercises does not amount to much. we've canceled the orders of f-16s. does the u.s. look impotent? >> i think the u.s. looks confused in terms of what's our policy here. we won't wacall this a coup eve though it clearly was the coup. we condemn the violence but we don't take back the aid. i was shocked when i was in egypt to see how high the level of anti-americanism is at the moment. the government is whipping up that essential fervor saying america supports the muslim brotherhood. i would say, where do you see america supporting the muslim brotherhood? we're sort of tacitly supporting what you've been doing by not coming out more strongly against it. >> clarissa, you've been in egypt, you're not there now, but because you're here in the u.s. to receive an award. >> it's not an award, it's an honorary degree, a doctor of
7:11 am
letters from middlebury college. i'm giving the commencement speech at the language school which is exciting because -- >> join the club, join the club, well deserved. >> thank you so much. "the washington post" is reporting the national security agency broke privacy rules and overstepped its authority thousands of times since 2008. that's when congress granted the nsa broad new powers. most was observations of americans inside the u.s. coming from an audit and other documents provided by nsa leaker edward snowden. cbs news national correspondent juan zarate has more on this. "the post" says these range from significant violations of law to typographical errors. how much the latter and how much the former? >> well, it seems to be a mix. i think the numbers are -- the
7:12 am
numbers will be grave regardless of the details. the fact is is these are more than a few episodes. from the audit of the violations of the overstepping by nsa. i think people are going to see this different ways depending on their perception and trust of the nsa. certainly this going to add fuel to the fire regardless. >> is it a systemic issue, juan, or is it individuals doing things every once in a while? >> well, it appears to be somewhat related to human error. somewhat related to technological challenges. some of the violations appear to be related to an inability to determine when certain types of cell phones move into the united states. and so an inability to determine when to stop collecting. so this is a challenge for the nsa because there are technological issues at play and a byzantine legal structure to adhere to. i think the devil's in the
quote
7:13 am
details here as we dig into the actual violations. >> i mean, juan, this is nearly 3,000 violations, over a one-year period. we should point out the nsa says, though, in a statement, quote, we're a human-run agency operating in a complex environment with a number of different regulatory regimes, so at times we find ourselves on the wrong side of the line. but we have been assured, up and down, both on background with officials and on television, that the proper oversight is in place. and yet this audit wasn't even shared with top members of congress. >> norah, you're absolutely right. this is going to add to the debate about what the oversite actually is. the nsa will say and has said these audits are a part of that oversight. they're going to make mistakes. that the technology changes. they've got human error. you're absolutely right. this is going to raise serious concerns about not just what's in this report but perhaps
7:14 am
what's not being reported. and this is going to add fuel to the fire for the administration in terms of putting in place new oversight mechanisms. >> all right, juan zarate, thank you. this morn, investigators have the most important pieces of evidence in the crash of a u.p.s. cargo jet. the pilots had flown u.p.s. planes for years. manuel bojorquez is there. >> reporter: the ntsb has recovered the black boxes from the rear section of the aircraft which came to rest just behind where i'm standing here. let's go ahead and give you another look at that tail section of the airplane. if we take a wider look we can she you how violent the impact was by just how wide the debris field is. the front section of the plane is more than 100 yard it s away. investigators worked through the
7:15 am
night, examining evidence from two flight data reporters recovered from the wreckage of ups flight 1354. the boxes were blackened and sear scorched. still, investigators say they are cautiously optimistic that key information is intact. >> the preliminary evidence indicates no evidence of an uncontained engine failure. there's no evidence of a preimpact fire. >> reporter: however, the ntsb has not ruled out the possibility of cargo fire as a potential cause. the gfbi is aiding on the groun, searching the neighborhood for pieces of the plane and its could be tents. officials will also examine the records of both pilots. calling into question a 2011 ruling by the faa that excludes cargo pilots from new standards that limit work hours. >> fatigue is one of the areas that we will look at and we look at in any investigation.
7:16 am
>> reporter: investigators still do not know why the two pilots descended at an unusually rapid rate. u.p.s. has not said how often the pair landed on runway 18. using a helicopter, investigators surveyed the 7,000-foot runway. the pilot landed there frequently when he flew for delta. >> you're coming in over a hillside area that's fairly dark. then you let right on down into the runway environment itself. you may lose some of your spacial orientation and you're relying more on your instruments at the time. >> reporter: the airport's other runway is much longer at 12,000 feet. but it it was shut down for repairs to the lights. the ntsb says it could be another week before they've gathered all the evidence they need here. jeff, norah. >> manuel, thank you. a powerful tropical
7:17 am
disturbance in the gulf could bring heavy rain to the southeast. cbs news hurricane consultant david bernard is in miami. this is prime season. what's happening? >> good morning, jeff. we don't need more rain in the southeast. it has been a super wet summer. looks like more rain is on the way. we have two ingredients coming together. one is the stalled cold front over the gulf. the other is the disturbance over the yucatan peninsula. the combination means a lot of rain between now and the time we go to the end of the weekend. this will take us into sunday at 5:00 p.m. look at this potential, anywhere from near new orleans east along the gulf coast. we could be talking about over 5 inches rain and as far north as georgia and even into the carolinas, 2 to 5 inches of additional rainfall certainly is going to be possible as that disturbance continues to move north over the next 24 to 48 hours. jeff and norah, back to you. the defense department released new and immediate steps
7:18 am
to prevent sexual assault in the ranks. it comes after a wave of high-profile sexual assault cases. the defense secretary announced it in a memo yesterday. they include improving legal support and expanding rights for victims. enhancing protection for victims. and requiring pretrial investigations. but california congresswoman jackie spear is slamming hagel's directive. the democrat says, i continue to be underwhelmed by the military's baby steps on this issue. a great-grandmother is the latest to accuse san diego mayor bob filner of sexual misconduct. on thursday, 67-year-old peggy shannon said filner asked for dates and made sexually suggestive comments. more than a dozen women have come forward. house minority leader nancy pelosi tweeted yesterday that filner should step down. headlines around the globe. the las vegas sun says for the first time the government is acknowledging the existence of area 51. the long-secret base in nevada is a favorite topic among
7:19 am
conspiracy theorists. they believe the government kept an alien spacecraft there, but declassified cia documents show it served as headquarters for the u-2 spy plane program. >> new regulations for economy ratings in cars and trucks. the epa says it wants consumers to have fair and accurate information. >> the "los angeles times" says the death toll from obesity may be higher than thought. researchers thought 5% of premature death in the united states was due to excess body mass but they now say between 1986 and 2006, that number jumped to almost 20%. "usa today" says baseball's jumped into the 21st century. starting next season, there will be instant replay during games. the only use for controversial good morning. we are looking at some low clouds and fog around the bay area. a little dense toward the

7:31 am
summer. the man leading the team will join us live with what they're learning already. that's ahead. first, only the third time in 50 years, the army is preparing a court marsh-martial for one of general. he stands accused of having an affair with a subordinate, among other charges. elaine quijano is with us and has more. >> reporter: the volatile but forbidden love affair at the center of this case comes just months after president obama vowed to crack down on sexual assaults in the armed forces. it's being used as an example of how these cases will be treated from now on. a five-member court-martial panel selected to determine the fate of brigadier general jeffrey sinclair accused of sexually assaulting a female captain 17 years his junior and for inappropriately communicating with three others.
7:32 am
>> the charges include forcible sodomy, wrongful sexual conduct, attempted violation of an order, violations of regulations by wrongfully engaging in inappropriate relationships. >> reporter: testimony delivered by the unmarried captain last year described how the pair carried on an explosive sexual relationship in four countries and two active war zones. the three-year relationship came to an end when the unmarried captain confessed. after learning that sinclair might have been seeing another female officer. although both parties admitted to the affair, any sexual relationship between ranks is in strict violation of military rules. >> the simple fact of the matter is, when one of your soldiers feels like he or she is going to be a victim, she gets up in the morning and she has to start thinking about that. she's not focusing on her duty. >> reporter: political pressure surrounding the case runs high. in may, president obama publicly promised to put a stop to sexual assault in the military. >> those who commit sexual assault are not only committing
7:33 am
a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong. >> reporter: sinclair has pled not guilty to all the charges. yet prosecutors say he abused his authority by sleeping with a subordinate officer. sinclair's wife, rebecca, has promised to stand by her husband. in an interview with cbs this morning, she blamed his infidelity on the stress of war. >> they're going to see this for what it is, and they're going to drop the charges and they're going to let us go on with our lives. >> reporter: this is only the third time in 50 years that a general has been subject to a court-martial. if convicted, he could face years behind bars in a military prison. norah. jeff. >> elaine, thank you. new jersey governor chris christie gave a blunt warning thursday to his fellow republicans winning the next presidential election is far more important than ideological purity. cbs news has obtained an audio recording of governor's remarks which were not open to the
7:34 am
press. chip reid is in washington. >> reporter: chris christie is one of the most prominent and certainly one of the loudest voices in the republican party. he's giving every indication he plans to run for president in 2016. thursday, in that closed door meeting, we got a pretty good look at his potential game plan. as the republican national committee held its summer meeting to plot a path to victory in 2016, new jersey governor chris christie positioned himself as the candidate who can win a general election. even if he is far from the most i ideologically conservative. >> who are you going to trust more to govern? there is a difference between republicans and democrats, a big difference. >> reporter: christie also appeared to go after two potential republican rivals for the white house, louisiana governor bobby jindal and kentucky senator rand paul. in an apparent reference to paul, he criticized republicans who put conservative purity above pragmatism. >> i think we have some folks
7:35 am
who believe that our job is to be college professors. for our ideas to matter, we have to win. because if we don't win, we don't govern. and if we don't govern, all we do is shout into the wind. >> reporter: that comes after a month of back and forth with the tea party favorite. in july, christie criticized paul for advocating limits on nsa surveillance techniques. saying they would hurt efforts to stop terrorism. >> this strain of libertarianism that's going through both parties right now and making big headlines i think is a very dangerous thought. and i remember what we felt like on september 12th, 2001. >> reporter: tuesday on "cbs this morning," the kentucky senator had his own take on the controversy. >> you heard chris christie really denouncing the libertarian wing of the party and that includes you. >> i think that was a big mistake for him. >> why? >> think about what young people are concerned about. we want young peep ople to comp
7:36 am
to the republican party. they don't have any money so they're not concerned about taxes and regulations. but they all have a cell phone and on the internet and are concerned about they privacy. i think the republican party ought to be the party that is concerned with and wants to protect your right to privacy. >> reporter: though he is still not clear about his presidential plan, christie has kept himself at the center of the struggle over the party's future. >> there's always going to be debasers in parties. it's not unusual. i don't think you want that to go. i think you want to have healthy debate within a party. >> reporter: in that closed door meeting, christie told his fellow republicans that the party is not a debating society, that their job is to win elections. but christie's critics said every time there is a debate within the republican party, christie seems to be swinging away, right in the middle of it. norah and jeff. >> chip reid, thank you. for nearly a year, we've been covering the story of o-search. a team that's created a new way to study the behave are you of great white sharks using gps
7:37 am
tags. yesterday afternoon, they caught, tagged and released a white shark off the coast of cape cod. and this morning, we are joined from chatham by chris fisher. he is the founder and expedition leader. chris, good morning. >> good morning, jeff, good morning, norah. >> tell us about betsy. >> betsy was amazing. yesterday, we started the day, it had been 16 days of grinding out through bad weather. lo and behold, seemed like a new wave of fish moved in. we had three sharks kind of on us all day. it was a tremendous game of cat and mouse before we were able to entice betsy into taking the bait. we had an opportunity for the first time to deliver a shark to our science team here. we were just thrilled. tremendous relief on the boat today. after grinding for a long, long time. she was an immature female, which is an enormous deal for the scientists. it gives us a broader group of
7:38 am
shar sharks for them to understand what's going on here. >> what do you mean by immature? how old do you think betsy is? what do you hope to learn from her? >> we hope to learn a lot from her. now we have a sample from an immature shark. we can compare that to the three other mature animals we have out of the atlantic and really start to get some baseline data. we might help us find the range of the nursery. i was a little disappointed when we were pulling it in. i thought it was a boy shark. when we got her up on the deck, it was a female and we named her betsy. >> you've seen a lot, but not a lot have come on the lift. why has this been such a challenge? why are the sharks different off cape cod versus what you saw in africa for example? >> what weem seen here is something we've never seen anywhere else in the world. where we normally work there's a lot of cage diving going on.
7:39 am
those sharks tend to come into the boat, they're curious. these sharks here seem to be super wild. they're not interested in anything we put in the water. so we've really been forced to evolve in how to connect with the sharks and interest the sharks and it's been a two-week journey. you know our fishing master, he's one of the most creative men i've ever seen on the water. and we kept evolving and we kept inching forward and learning. and finally we started to get these sharks really turned on on little bitty field decoys. they would chase the decoys and chase the decoys and finally we got one to chase those and we switched them off to a bait. and for the first time ever, we got betsy to bite. that's the first white shark that's bit in the atlantic for us. last year, we had to hand hook both of those fish. an enormous step in trying to put together a system to deliver enough animals to the science institute in the north sglk hat. >> wow, hand hook.
7:40 am
great to have you on. >> thanks, big sense of relief from here in chatham. >> thanks, chris. >> ahead, ben tracy with a hot set of wheels. >> this iss eone of tenner i ef like this ever built. heming up on "cbs this morning." money once it sells it coming up on "cbs this morning." sleeping apart. things should never come to this. that is why i'm through the moon to present our latest

amens americans who drink coffee usually have about three cups a day. a new study finds drinking an average of four cups a day may increase the risk of death. dr. carl duvet is one of the authors, medical director at the institute in new orleans. good morning. this may be alarming to are a lot of people. what were the findings? >> the major finding was that those who reported drinking four
8:16 am
or more cups per day on average had a 21% increased risk of death, particularly applicable to those under age 55 where the men had a 56% increase death rate and the women had a double death rate. now, on the other hand, we found complete safety, no increased death rate or death from heart disease with less than four cups per day. so the bottom line of the take-home message is the young people drinking four or more cups per day should think about cutting back a bit to maybe just two or three cups. >> i have to express skepticism to this. how could there be no risk for three or less cups but when you hit four, for a man, it jumped to a 56% increase and likelihood of death. >> without having specific significance, you can't be confident in the findings.
8:17 am
>> is it the coffee or the caffeine? >> what do you think it is? >> it is unlikely to be just caffeine. if it was the caffeine, we would expect you see an increased heart-related mortality. we didn't see any increased heart mortality. in a major review i published earlier this month in our leading heart journal, we found coffee didn't have any increase in high blood pressure, cornea disease, heart failure or arrhythmia. >> is this an issue of causation or correlation, you found that people who drink four or more cups of coffee are likely to have these issues? >> that's a very important point. with he show there was a strong association between coffee and increased death rate at the high doses. >> couldn't that be explained by someone, look, i work a night job. it is very stressful. i drink a lot of coffee. i don't get much sleep. i am probably eating a lot of snacks. >> the most obvious thing is
8:18 am
that smokers drink a lot of coffee and coffee drinkers smoke. we corrected for smoking. results are totally independent of smoking but we were not able to correct the things like sleep, lack of sleep, being stressed out in your life. it is quite possible that the coffee didn't cause the death but was associated with other lifestyle characteristics that were associated with a higher death rate? >> dr. karla conveniecarl levin being here not often a football fan roots for the referees but one could get cheers tonight. >> do you notice the difference, the players? >> yes. when i wake up and have mass scare ra and some lip gloss, they notice the difference meet the mom that's on the verge of making nfl history. that's ahead all that mattered in 1977, america lost its king. do you remember who it was?
